ARRIVAL OF THE PRESIDENT.
His Excellency, President BUCHANAN, ac
companied by Miss LANF, Mrs. Secretary
THOMPSON, and Mr. THOMPSON, arrived at
Bedford Springs, oil Tuesday evening last.— J
The President looks well, and is in good health
and spirits. The "best abused" man of the age, j
"dull care" has failed to sethis mark upon his
countenance. He is above the reach of the
poisoned shafts of envy and malice, and having
no other object at heart but the good of his
uho/e country, he cannot be assailed, though
enpmies be unscrupulous and pretended friends
unfaithful.' An escort from Bedford met him at;
the "Half-Way House," where be was received
by a large crowd of the sturdy citizens of
Cumberland Valley. The President's rooms
are the same as those occupied last year by
himself and suite.
•CT*FR. JORDAN, in his last organ, attempts j
to reply to our article of week before last, in i
which we proved that the JY. Y. Tribune spoke !
ol the poorer classes of our citizens as "Poor i
White Trash," and in the course of his argu-i
uient (?) quotes a passage from the Tribune 1 s j
article, which in jtself enG.~ ' ' i "1
what we have said upon the subject. The i
passage quoted by MR. JORDAN is as follows
A considerable part of the white population ;
were petit blancs , so called, little whites, the
•POOR WHITE TRASH' of our southern
States, without education or property."
This language Mr. Jordan acknowledges
was used by the Tribune and therefore ac
knowledges that the Tribune spoke of American j
citizens as "Poor White Trash." But with
characteristic dishonesty, he breaks off this j
passage at a comma , instead of giving the whole
paragraph, as he found it in the Tribune.—
"Judgesand lawyers" might call this "forgery,'
as it is certainly a fraudulent alteration of the
Tribune's article and intended to operate to our
injury. MR. JORDAN blames us for dropping
the quotation marks in copying from the Tri
bune ; but how much more is not he to be
blamed when he deliberately blots out one half
of the Tribune's sentence ? Jlpropos of the
"quotation marks," if they really did occur in
the Tribune''s article ( of which we have some
doubt) they were dropped unintentionally, but
they shall henceforward be used, thus: "Poor
White Trash." However, we opine it makes
but little difference whether we use them, or
not, as the Tribune adopted the language and
is responsible for it.
The paragraph from the Tribune's article,
when taken as a whole, reads as follows :
"A considerable part of fhe white population
were petit blancs, so called, little whites, the
same with the 'Poor White Trash' of our
Southern States without education or propeity,
but exceedingly tenacious, like our l Poor White
Trash' JVorih and South, of a distinction which
enabled them to take rank of the mo3t
accomplished and wealthy men of color. "
Will Mr. Jordan dare to deny that this is
correctly quoted ? If so, ice dare him to pub
lish the entire ailicle of the Tribune in which
it OCCUIB. Nothing short of this, will satisfy
the public that his case is not a bad one.
following is the inscription of a let
ter lately received at the Post Office u this
place

"HONESTY THE BEST POLICY."
About one month ago there appeared on the |
| outside of our paper, a little "<"qtiib" ot twO (
j lines, which read as follows "Honesty is thej
i best policy, but it keeps a man poor." This;
| sententious little paragraph was selected by
fone of our compositors, who in our temporary
i absence, was at a loss for "copy'* to "fill out''
a column which he was making up. Ac-'
cordingly the sentence above quoted was placed
at the foot of the column, not by our direction.
f but without our knovuedge. To this every
hand iu our office is ready to make affidavit.—
Our attention was first called to it, by a friend
who informed us that it had been made the sub
ject ot a jiscouise from the pulpit. As might
be expected, we were rallied a good deal con
cerning the matter, our friends and acquain
tance considering it "a good joke on us." So
far, so good. But unfortunately, (or rather
fortunately) for ourselves, in our issue of week
before last, we published the proot which estab
lishes the truth of our charge that the JV. ¥.
Tribune spoke ofthe lower classes of American
citizens as "POOR WHTTE TRASH." Our
' signal success in this particular so completely
; durub-lounded Pa. JORDAN and his retinue ot
| organ-grinders, that they were compelled to fall
j back and attack us at a new point. So after vain
! ly searching out editorial columns, and finding
nothing of our own authorship that was assaila
ble, they w ere at last forced to go to the first
page of our paper, which (as is usual with
country newspapers) is generally made up alto
gether of articles copied from exchanges.—
Our readers can imagine how eagerly they
clutched at the little sentence, at the bottom of
the column. "Honesty is the w best policy,"but it
keeps a man poor." Like drowning men, they
caught at this unsubstantial straw. And "there
by hangs a tale"—an incident which will serve
to show (he discerning reader that these godly
j men believed it not altogether impossible that
! they themselves might have published the para
graph. One of them (a little red pimple on
the body editorial) was in church at the time
I the discourse concerning the aforesaid para
graph was delivered, and the thought that the
offensive sentence might have been in his pa
per, excited him so a much that in defiance ot
common decency, he talked about it to those
near him, whilst the sermon was progressing, <
and even whilst the Congregation were upon j
their knees in prayer! For lull particulars
concerning the pious conduct of this model
religionist, on the occasion just alluded to, we
refer our readers to JOHN H. FILLER, ESQ. —
Notwithstanding this acknowledgment that
they themselves might have published the para-;
graph in question—notwithstanding the fact
I that they knew that we. were not the author of
the expression —notwithstanding the fact that
they were well aware ot the manner in which
it had crept into our columns—these shame
less tricksters do not hesitate to denounce and
abuse us for publishing it. We have never
heard "judges or lawyers" give their opinions
concerning a matter like..-iiAiw 1 n'earora 'say
that this last attempt of Jordan and his coadju
; tors to make capital against the Gazette, was a
piece oi mean and cowardly rascality.
\ In conclusion, we make a few extracts from j
Jordan's organ which we beg leave to put in
a3 "set-off." Observe the encouragement they |
give to the poor. Observe the inducements j
• they hold out to the sons of poverty to be hon
est for the sake of being respectable.

TO THE PEOPLE OF PENNSYLVANIA.
Fellow-Citizens : —ln a speech recently de
livered in Jayne's Hall, in the city of Philadel
phia, and on other occasions, in different parts
of the State, I promised to publish, with the
proof of its genuineness, a certain list of subsidi
zed papers which was furnished by Governor
FORD, of Ohio, to a correspondent of the New
York Herald. I now redeem that pledge, and
present herewith, to the people of Pennsylva
nia, Gov. FORD'S list of expenditures, with the
affidavit of Dr. W. W. Woodward, which ex
plains the circumstances under which it came
into his possession, and which will be more
fully understood after reading the following ex
tract from the New York Herald, of the 18th
November 1859, immediately after the late
election :
" Messrs. Fry and Gibbons, in Philadel
phia, were the leading managers, and lost the
battle by their blunders. Gov. Ford, of Ohio,
was furnished with twenty thousand dollars as
a subvention for the country papers in Pennsyl
vania to support Fremont."
The affidavit and list are as follows :
City of Philadelphia ss.
The annexed statement of moneys expended
by Lieut. Gov. Ford, of Ohio, in subsidizing the
opposition presses of Pennsylvania, was furnish
by him, and given tome at the Astor House,
in New York. The reason assigned for placing
it in my possession was, that with the fact?
thus enumerated I might be fully prepared to
disabuse the mind of the editor of the leading
political journal in New York, who by in
direction, if not indeed by positive charge, had
accused him of the misappropriation of the
particular fund entrusted to him for the object
above specified.

THE NATURALIZATION QUESTION.
So much misapprehension prevails in refer
ence to the views of tfie Administration on
this question, that we embrace the opportunity j
furnished by a practical case, which has e- !
cently arisen in the kingdom of Hanover, to |
refer to it again.
The case is that of a naturalized citizen of
the United States, who is a native of Hanover, j
and who, when he left his native country,
was neither in actual service in the Hanover
ian armv nor had he been drafted to serve in it,
j but who has yet, upon his return to Hanover,
been deprived of his liberty and compelled to do j
military duty.
The intervention of our Government having j
thus become necessary, the whole subject of the j
rights of our naturalized citizens lias received 1
the renewed and careful consideration of the j
President, and his views, as well as those ol '
his entire Cabinet, upon this important subject,
will be found in the following extract which i
we are permitted to make from a despatch j
transmitted a few days ago from the Depart- !
merit of Slate to our Minister at Berlin in rela- j
lion to the case referred to.
It is impossible to add anything to the i
strength and clearness of this statement; ami
we are persuaded that it will meet the full
concurrence of every reflecting man in the'
country :
Extract of a Despatch f rom the Department oj
State, to the oj the United States
at Berlin, dated July 8, 1859.
The right of expatriation cannot at this day
be doubted or denied in the United States.— !
The idea has been repudiated ever since the
origin of our Government, that a man is bound
to remain forevpr in the country o? his birth, !
and that he has no right to exercise his free
will, and consult his own happiness by selecting J
a new home. The most eminent writers on j
public law recognize the right of expat
This can only be contested by those who in the ,
nineteenth century are stifl devoted to the
ancient feudal law with all its oppression.—
The doctrine of perpetual allegiance is a relic
of barbarism which has been gradually disap
pearing from — J "
The Constitution of the United States recog
nizes the natural right of expatriation, by con
ferring upon Congress the power "to establish j
a uniform rule of natuiahzation. ' Indeed, it
was one of the grievances alleged against the
British King in the Declaration of Indepen
dence, that he had "endeavored to prevent (be
population of these States—for that purpoar
obstructing the laws of naturalization of foi-'
eigners, refusing to pass others to encourag*
their migration hither," Stc., &c. The Con
stitution thus clearly recognizes the principb j
of expatriation in the strongest manner, i j
would have been inconsistent in itself and un
worthy of the character of the authors ol I Ira
instrument, to hold out inducements tc foe
eigners to abandon their native laud, to re
i nounce their allegiance to their native govern,
ment and to become citizens ol the Uriitel
States, it they had not been convinced of the ,
absolute and unconditional right of expatriation.
Congress has uniformly acted upon tiis
principle ever since the commencement of tie
Federal Government. They established '%
uniform rule of naturalization," nearly seven
ty years ago. There has since been no perioi
in our history when laws for this purpose did
not exist, though their provisions have under
gone successive changes. The alien, in ordei
to become a citizen, must declare on oath oi
affirmation that he will support the Constituii
tion of the United States; and, at the same time,
he i? required to absolutely and entirely iel
nounce and abjure all allegiance and fidelity tq
every foreign prince, potentate, State or sove
reignty whatever, and particularly, by name,
the prince, potentate, State or sovereignty!
whereof he was before a citizen.
The exercise of the right of naturalization,
and the consequent recognition of the principle!
of expatriation, are not confined to the Govern-!
ment of the United States. There is not "a
country in Europe, I believe, at the present
moment, where the law does not authorize the
naturalization ol foreigners in one form or
other. Indeed, in some of these countries this
law is more liberal than our own towards
foreigners.
The question then arises, what rights do our
laws confer upon a foreigner by granting him
naturalization ? I answer, all the rights, privi
leges and immunities which belong to a na
tive-born citizen, in their full extent, with the
single qualification that, under the Constitu
tion, "no person except a native-born citizen is
eligible to the office of Prtsiden'." With this
exception, the naturalized citizen from and
after the date of his naturalization, both at j
borne and abroad, is placed upon the very same
footing with the native citizen. He is neither
jn a better nor a worse condition. If a native
citizen chooses to take up his residence in a
foreign country for the purpose of advancing,
his fortune or promoting his happiness, he is,
whilst there bound to obey its municipal lavs
equally with those who have lived in it all
their lives. He goes abroad with his eves opes;
and if these laws be arbitrary and unjust, bt
has chosen to abide by the consequences—
If they are administered in an equal Ffinf
towards himself and towards native subjefs,
this Government has no right to inlerlereiu
thoritatively in his behalf. To do this woo! be
to violate the right of an independent Natia to
legislate within its own Territories. Ifhia
Government were to undertake such a task,!
We might soon be involved in trouble with
nearly the whole world. To protect our ciii
zens against the application of this principle of |
universal law, in its full exient, we have trea- :
, lies with several Nations securing exemption to
American citizens when residing abroad, from ;
I some of the onerous duties required from their j
own subjects. Where no such treaty exists l
!■ anJ an American citizen has committed a
[ crfme or incurred a penalty for violating any j
rti'unicipal law whatever of the country of his!
temporary residence, fie is just as liable to be
Uried and punished lor his offence, as though he
had resided in it from the day of his birth. If ,
this has not been done before his departure, and ,
he should voluntarily return under the same
jurisdiction, he may be tried and punished lor j
the offence upon principles of universal law.— !
Under such circumstances, no person would j
think of contending that an intermediate resi- i
dence in his own coun'ry for years would de- i
prive the Government whose laws he had viola- j
ted of the power to enforce their execution.— |
The very same principle, and no other, is ap- :
plicable to the case of a naturaliz-d citizen, i
should he choose to return to his native coun
try. In that case, if he had committed an ol- \
fence against the Jaw before his departure, he |
is responsible for it in the same manner as the ,
native-American citizen to whom i have refer- j
red. In the language of the late Mr. Marcy,
in his letter of the 10th January, 185f, to Mr.
Jackson, then our charge d'affaires to Vienna,
■ when speaking of Tousig's case, "every nation,
: whenever its laws are violated by any one
I owing obedience to them, whether he be a
j citizen or a stranger, has a right to inflict the
; penalties ncurred upon the transgressors, if
j found within its jurisdiction." This principle
is too well established to admit of serious con- ;
troversy. If one of our native or naturalized
citizens were to expose himself to punishment
by the commission of an offence against any
of our laws, state or national, and afterwards
I become a naturalized subject of a foreign coun
j try, he would not have ttie hardihood to con
i tend, upon voluntarily returning within our
| jurisdiction, that his naturalization relieved
| him from the punishment due to his crime: i
| much less could he appeal to the government ol
his adopted country to protect him against his ;
responsibility to the United Stales or any of the ;
; States. This Government would not for a ma
j ment listen to such an appeal.
Whilst these principles cannot be contested, ;
! great care should be taken in their application, 1
| especially to our Ttie j
moment a foreigner becomes iW#raliz<d, his al
j legiance to his native country is severed for- j
; ever. He experiences a new political birth.—
A broad and impassable line separates hiru-from
1 his native country. He is no more responsible j
for anything he may say or do, after assuming
j iiis new character, than if he had been born in
; the United States. Should lie return to his
| native country, he returns as an American citi
zen, and in no other character. In order to
entitle his original government to punish him
, for an offence, this must have been committed
! whilst he was a subject and owed allegiance to
J that government. The offence must have been 1
complete before his expatriation. It must have '
j been of such a character that lie might have 1
| been tried and punished for it at the moment j
jof hi? departure. A future liability to serve in j
the army will not be sufficient; because, before !
the time can arrive lor such service, he has
changed his allegiance, and has become a citi- ;
family, when but twelve years of age and
naturalized here, who should' afterwards visit 1
j the country of his birth when lie had become
a man, might then be seized and compelled to
perform military service, because, if he had re
mained there throughout the intervening years j
and his life been spared, he would have been
bound to perform military service. To submit
! to such a principle would be to make an odious I
distinction between our naturalized and native \
citizens. For this reason, in my despatch to 1
you ol May 12, 1H59, and again in my letter to I
Air. Hofer ol (he 14th ultimo, I confine the i
foreign jurisdiction in regard to our naturalized !
Citizens to such of them as "were in the army 1
or actually called into it" at the time they left j
Prussia. That is, to the case of actual '
lion or a refusal to enter the auny after having j
been regularly drafted and called into it by the;
government to which at the time they owed '
allegiance. It ts iresumed that neither of these j
cases presents any difficulty in point ot princi- j
pie. If a soldier or a sailor were to desert from j
our army or navy, for which oflence he is lia- j
ble to a severe punishment, and, after having
become a naturalized subject of another coun
try, should return to the United States, it
would be a singular defence for him to make
that he was absolved from his crime, because,
after its commission, he had become a subject ot
another government. It would be still more
strange were that government to interpose in
his behalf for any such reason. Again, durrug
the last war with Great Britain, in several ot
the States—l might mention Pennsylvania in I
particular—the militia-man who was drafted
and called into the service was exposed to a
ley ere penalty if he did not obey the draft and
muster himself into the service, or, in default
thereof, procure a substitute. Suppose such an
individual, after having incurred this penalty,
|iad gone to a foreign country and become
laturalized there and then return to Pennsylva
tia, is it possible to imagine that for this rea
on the arm of the State authorities would be
jiaralyzed, and that they could not exact the
tenalty ? I state these examples to show more
learly both the extent and the limitation of
ightlul Hanoverian jurisdiction in such cases,
t is impossible to foresee all the varying cir
umstances which may attend cases as they
nay arise; but it is believed that the principles
iid down may generally be sufficient to guide
our conduct.
It is to be deeply regretted that the German
overnments evince so much tenacity on this
rhject. It would be better, far better, for
hem, considering the compaialively small
nnnber of their native subjects who return to
their dominions after being naturalized in this
country, not to attempt to exact military service
from them. They will prove to be most re
luctant soldieis. If they violate any law ol
their native country during their visit, they are,
of course, amenable like other American citi
zens. It would be a sad misfortune, if for rhe
sake of an advantage so trifling to such govern
ments, they should involve themselves in
serious difficulties with a country so desirous as
we are, of maintaining with them the most
friendly relations. It is fortunate that serious
difficulties ot this kind are mainly confined to
the German States—and especially that the
laws of Great Britain do not authorize any com
pulsory military service whatever. ' I

Thrilling Incident— Buried in a Coal Shaft.
Mr. Samuel Allen lurnished us yesterdar
with the particulars of an accident at Wesley
City, I'hursday, by which a man was buried
alive in a coal shaft eighty-lour feet in depth.
The shaft had been sunk on the land of James
W Intaker, foi the purpose of finding coal.
I The workmen, after going through ten feet of
clay, penetrated through seventy-four feet of
quick sand, that required a strong curbing m
order to work it. Not finding coal at the deqth,
the job was given up, but an attempt was made to
remove and save the curbing. Scarcely !ud
j the man who was engaged in doing it, taken
away the first plank, before the entire curbing
for fifty feet above him broke loose, and buried
i him beneath it. The alarm was immediately
given, and an excited crowd rushed to the >pt.
Ou listening, blows on the timbers could be
heard from below, showing (he buried man to
bp alive, and the work of digging him out was
:at once cotnme.iced. The shalt was three and a
half fert in diameter, and was entirely blocked
up with sand timbers for fifteen feet, and lor
the balance of the way the curbing was i:. ;
shattered and dangerous condition.
Our informant arrived on the ground at one
o'clock yesterday afternoon, and found Iho
knocking from below had ceased, and tears
were entertained that the man was dead.—
I After a lapse of two or three hours the knock
ing was resumed, and the work of digging him
iout was recommenced. Mr. Wm. Smith, a
waiting for the repair of the curbing
courageously descended to the top of the ru b_'
h ,hat Rocked up the shaft, and Jyin- down
succeeded ,n communicating with him i '
answers to inquiries, the buried man .'aid' thai
